The Wednesday Web Browser

Our friend John Griswold ("Oronte Churm") reviewsIsherwood on Writing, finding that "the main interest for me is listening to [Christopher] Isherwood deliver what amounts to a long craft talk."==========For a different sort of craft lesson, check out the regular "Poetry Workshop" feature on Robert Lee Brewer's Poetic Asides blog. ==========To reveal or not to reveal--that is, so often, the memoirist's question. Especially when writing about family (including children). And this week, it's a question up for debate on the NYTimes.com "Room for Debate" blog (and, with a slightly different slant, on the same site's Motherlode blog, too).==========More opportunities to take a Renegade Writer e-course: "Magazine Writing Basics" and "Get Unstuck! for Freelancers" will award free basic admission through no-fee competitions. Details here. Deadline: Spetember 7.
